HW 2

This document contains 8 questions about probability distributions and random variables. The questions cover topics like determining the conditional probability density function given another random variable, finding the distribution of a random variable that is a transformation of another, and calculating probabilities based on mixtures of distributions from different sources. The final question involves applying different nonlinear transformations to a random variable and calculating the resulting probability density functions.
